I’ve been trying for like 20 hours to find a decent copy of Prince at Coachella doing a cover of "Creep" by Radiohead, but it's impossible because Prince is a temperamental fairy and he told his record label to remove every copy they find, even though he didn’t shoot the video and he very obviously doesn’t own the song. The Huff Post says…
After word spread that Prince covered Radiohead's "Creep" at Coachella, the tens of thousands who couldn't be there ran to YouTube for a peek. Everyone was quickly denied - even Radiohead. In a recent interview, Thom Yorke said he heard about Prince's performance from a text message and thought it was "hilarious." Yorke laughed when his bandmate, guitarist Ed O'Brien, said the blocking had prevented him from seeing Prince's version of their song. "Really? He's blocked it?" asked Yorke, who figured it was their song to block or not. "Surely we should block it. Hang on a moment." Yorke added: "Well, tell him to unblock it. It's our song."
This whole thing does bring up some interesting questions about copyright and digital ownership. The other day a reporter asked me what I thought about new media and whether old copyright laws can still apply. So I asked him about new media and whether old copyright laws can still apply. Two can play this little game.
NOW WITH BETTER VIDEO!
What's new media?
Now if Radiohead would just do a cover of Prince's 'Cream', life would be complete.
It's amazing! I must have fallen asleep and awakened in the 1980s when Prince was relevant.
on a racist note, i always hated Prince because of that little packie mustache he has. you know, like the Indian kid in your 9th grade class that grew that catapillar on his lip.
I'll never understand Prince.
I wish he'd come out of the closet already so I can finally say…I KNEW IT!!!
Prince is only good for getting chicks naked in his movies.
…and being mocked on Saturday Night Live.
Also when Charlie Murphy mocked him on Chapelle's Show when Prince kicked Charlie Murphy's ass in basketball wearing what looked like women's clothes and high heels.
Radiohead can give me roadhead.
"Prince is only good for getting chicks naked in his movies."
Speaking of naked chicks in movies …. Scarlett will be baring it all in the upcoming "He's just not that into you." Yay!
That's one of the best God damn comedy sketeches I've ever seen, LNJ.
The video completely sucks. I hear what sounds like teenagers playing "Creep" with thrift store instruments and some white guy dressed in white walking around like he's Kenny Chesney at a dick sucking seminar.
LNJ……
Yes…..I forgot about that one.
Fuck Dave Chapelle for turning his back on the Comedy Channel…….I used to like that show.
*Sketches
As far as Radiohead and their super depresso song that should be banned from the radio goes … How 'bout a nice tall glass of lick my upwiped ass? Yeah, that pretty much sums up my distaste.
As if no one knew, I'm a big Chappelle fan and the Prince skit was absolutely hilarious, but so were most of the Charlie Murphy skits.
@lexi - That's the kind of hard hitting, no-holds barred reporting we need more of around here, preferably with pictures. I don't give a damn about Prince when there's no tits involved.
Cocaine is a helluva drug….RIP Rick James Bitch
ososexilexi……..
Scarlett will BARE those beauties…….I won't believe it until I see it.
But she better fucking get it done soon…..not wait until she's forty like Amy Irving.
(Wow I'm pissed at modesty and chastity today!)
Prince asked his record label to block Youtube 'cos he can't reach the keyboard by himself
Prince is the ultimate badass in all of music. He is monstrously awesome.
You know what would be cool and hip and timely?
If Prince performed a song Pete Wentz wrote. Like, "Ashlee, You Are the Most Bee-youtiful Girl in the World."
Hahahahahahahahahaha
Listen girls!!!!!!!!
Get IT on the record NOW…when it matters:
